Installation Instructions
Placement of the Refrigerator
The room should have a capacity (length x width x height) of at least 20m³ and must be adequately
ventilated as well as follow all relevant national and local regulations.
Further, the room should have a window (which can be opened). It is important that the refrigerator is
not subject to radiation of heat from a stove etc.
For best performance also at high ambient temperatures, there must be free air circulation over and at
the rear of the refrigerator.
The refrigerator is designed for a free-standing installation and the clearance to the rear wall and to
the possible side walls, should be at least 50mm. The clearance above the refrigerator should be at
least 600mm.
NB: The refrigerator must be adjusted to a vertical and horizontal level position, see bubble spirit
level supplied with the refrigerator. Use the feet on the refrigerator to adjust its position.
